You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together. Perhaps you've experienced trauma, struggle with ADHD, or find yourself caught in patterns that no longer serve you. Whatever has brought you here, therapy can offer a safe space to understand what's happening, develop practical tools, and move toward the life you want. I work with adults and adolescents who want more than symptom relief—they want to understand themselves, build resilience, and create meaningful change.

Psychotherapist, MSc

The people I work with are used to holding a great deal together for others, often with little space for themselves. Many work in high-pressure roles, including healthcare, education, and senior leadership, and have reached a point where something has to give. Others are navigating serious illness, bereavement, or a loss that has shifted something fundamental. Therapy offers a space to pause and regain perspective, especially when this has been building over time.

Feeling stuck? Maybe something in your life no longer feels quite right. You may be struggling with low self-esteem, stress, burnout, or grief, or navigating changes in relationships, family or career. Perhaps you’re adjusting to life in a new city or country, or questioning parenthood or life beyond it. When life changes, expected or unexpected, your sense of who you are and where you belong can shift too. You may be unsure of what you need, where you fit, or what comes next. Together, we can explore what matters to you and find a way forward that feels right.

We provide Adult and Adolescent ADHD assessments, and a range of other developmental and psychological assessments, as well as ongoing therapeutic support. We understand that reaching out for help—for yourself, your teen, or your family—can feel overwhelming. An initial consultation is a calm and reassuring first step, offering a warm space to share concerns, ask questions, and begin exploring what the most helpful path forward might be. I offer in-person appointments from two clinic locations: Clonskeagh, Dublin 14, and Greystones, Co. Wicklow.

I work with clients from an integrative, client centred approach, making sure their needs are heard and I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is where healing begins. Depending on the needs of the client I may draw on a number of approaches and can work with CBT principles, pyscho-education and nervous system regulation techniques.
